One of Sylvester Stallone’s most iconic characters is set to return to the big screen, but he’ll look a bit different this time around. Production is currently under way on John Rambo, a prequel film that follows the titular character before the events of 1982’s First Blood. With that, the eventual war veteran will be played by Noah Centineo. Up until this point, it was unclear as to whether Stallone himself would be involved in the upcoming action flick. The veteran actor has since confirmed that, though, with a message. John Rambo, which is being directed by Jalmari Helander, reportedly began filming in Bangkok back in January. This week, Stallone shared a video on Instagram in which he acknowledged the impact that Rambo has had on his life and career. With that, he also confirmed that he’d officially boarded the prequel as an executive producer. Check out the video, in which “Sly” also flashes a copy of the screenplay:
